ABN-Andhrajyothy is in the fourth position while 10TV, ETV Telangana, Sakshi, and T News are in fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth positions respectively.
That means Hyderabad audiences are consuming neutral content more than Telangana-centric content.
BRS-owned T News Channel is clearly struggling. In the AP and TS 15+ Segment, it is in tenth position.
Only almost unknown channels like BRK News and I News are behind T-News painting a sorry picture.
In Hyderabad, T News is again in ninth position.
With GHMC elections next year, this will be a disappointing trend for the BRS.
